Hi Tony,
MassLNC sponsored this development, and my recollection from discussions
during the development project was that it's best to enable/disable it
for the entire consortium. See also the following from the description
in the OU setting:
"Unless you are carefully silo-ing patrons and their use of the OPAC,
the context org for this setting should be the top org in the org
hierarchy, otherwise patrons can trample their user settings when
jumping between orgs."
However, if you have a different tpac template for the library that
wants SMS, maybe you can hide the SMS options in the template for your
other libraries? Off the top of my head, I'm thinking there are three
places where you would need to hide SMS: the record page where you have
the option to text the call number, the place hold page, and the myopac
notification preferences page.
Just a thought, but it's not something I've tested so I don't know how
well it would work.

Hi all,
Please pardon any duplication but trying to figure out if the
Evergreen SMS setup can be done on a per library basis in a
consortium? I realize the system options can be set this way in the
library settings editor, but when we did this, every library in the
consortium had the SMS option, not just the one that was asking.
Looking at this post
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/884254), I'm thinking that
maybe editing the TPAC on a per-library basis would enable us to only
have this for the libraries that need this?
Also note that from the post above, I did find this:
Also, it's probably best to have just one sms.enable for the whole
consortium. If you mix and match on/off settings here, then user
preferences for SMS can get
blown away if the user updates their settings in the TT-OPAC at an org
where SMS is disabled.
I'm not quite sure the best way to interpret that so thanks up front
for your thoughts, links, help......
Tony
